Settle an argument - was there a Costa in Peckham before?!

Costa just doesn't fit well there on Rye Lane, does it?


Is there any chance everyone will give it a miss, and the space will become available for another use? Mind you, I think the same thing about 80% of the mobile phone unlocking shops and bargain tat shops too. Specifically, it would be great if the council could somehow plan for the crummier superfluous shops to make way for relocating businesses whose premises are on the demolition list near the station.


Costa will doubtless thrive though. The nearby indy coffee competition doesn't seem very strong. Small White Elephant does nice things, but the tepid coffee I had the other day is not one of them :-/


If I could pick one coffee shop type chain that would fit the area, it would be Boston Tea Party. If anyone's looking for a franchise to run round here, that's the one I'd spend money in.

There is something particularly soulless about Costa's livery and styling, that seems to be brought out more in that location. Actually now you mention those other places, maybe the Greggs to BK section of the high street is where a smaller Costa would look less out of place.

Isn't that pretty much where it is? On the corner near Subway, Mothercare, etc? A pretty inconspicuous addition, IMO.

      Yes, I think people who don’t use their food waste bin are less likely to vote Lib Dem or Green or Labour as they think it’s a woke type of thing to do, like solar panels and other renewables.

      But we’re not in Canada so why celebrate their recent election? Wasn’t their winner our Bank of England director up until his defection to his homeland of Canada? He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.

      I expect that they consider it should be a free choice what to do with your waste, and that segregating it is a waste of money, no doubt it's all a woke conspiracy.  I expect that others are more up to speed with Reform policies. I should have asked Nigel when I was drinking with him.  Well within the vicinity of him in Westminster pubs a couple of times.
